22:00 Fri, 20 Mar 2026


When the women from Kosovo invited me to their Hackathon for Girls in Prizren,
one of the more unusual things that happened was people telling me things about
Enkelena_Haxhija.


All the girls were really enthusiastic about the weekend. On the other hand,
they were keen to let me know that their friend Enkelena was not like the other
girls.


A few weeks later, I was at the pub in Prishtina with a much smaller group.
Enkelena was there and while we were talking and having drinks, Enkelena was
doing her homework. It looked like she was solving partial differential
equations. We did the same homework in our engineering maths course at the
University of Melbourne.


After the gossip and rudeness to my family, many of the women from these events
decided they didn't want any further involvement with Debianism.


At OSCAL in 2018, Enkelena did not ask for permission before setting up my
radio equipment. She just went ahead and did it. People waste so much time
arguing about the definition of diversity.


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Enkelena Haxhiu, OSCAL 2018, Tirana, Albania, Debian⦈


 


We gave a talk together in the same conference:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Daniel Pocock, Enkelena Haxhiu (Haxhija), OSCAL 2018,
Tirana, Albania, Debian⦈


 


One member of the audience was Arjen_Kamphuis. He asked us a question. It was
Enkelena's first talk and it was the last time we saw Arjen_Kamphuis before he
disappeared.


In 2025, Enkelena submitted a request to be_on_the_list_of_Debian_Developers_
(authors_of_Debian).


     Enkelena: I would also like to be able to participate in debian-
     private and use the Debian infrastructure more easily e.g. for
     sending and receiving emails.


As it turns out, large sections of debian-private from the 1990s have been
leaked on IPFS and much more of it is being_offered_in_the_crowdfunding
campaign.


Personally, I started doing voluntary activities in amateur_radio when I was
fourteen years old in 1993. I went on to doing voluntary things with Debian and
Linux shortly after that but I wasn't in any rush to be part of debian-private.
I don't think I ever mentioned debian-private to anybody until after the Debian
leader Chris_Lamb started attacking my family in 2018.


The first woman in Debian was Associate_Professor_Susan_G_Kleinmann_from_MIT.
She also had to ask for permission to use debian-private:


Subject: Susan_Kleinmann <sgk@tiac.net>  needs debian-private subscription
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 1996 11:52:44 -0700 (PDT)
From: Bill_Mitchell <mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com>
To: debian-private@lists.debian.org
CC: sgk@tiac.net


Susan said, in private email:


> I've been working on building a greatly expanded FAQ, and I'm planning on
> installing it on my WWW server this weekend.  It desperately needs input
> and correction from people that actually know what they're doing before
> it is foisted off to the general public.
>
> In order to get that input, Joost_Witteveen recommended that I send a
> notice to debian-private after I put the new FAQ up, but I don't know
> who to ask re: getting a subscription to debian-private.  Can you help me?
> If the person I need to contact is Bruce, and if he's not available
> (which I suspect is the case) then would you be willing to post the
> notice for me?


Last I heard, Bruce was out of touch.  Could someone who knows
how please subscribe Susan to debian-private?

Here is the crisis for MIT. They really need smart women like Enkelena to
replace A/Prof_Susan_G_Kleinmann, who is around retirement age.


But if Enkelena wastes her youth on debian-private and all the other dirty
politics, she may never get to MIT.


Looking back to the notorious conference dinner at DebConf19 in Brazil, there
are four Albanian women seated at the table with the former leader of
Debianism. From left to right, they are Anisa_Kuci, Kristi_Progri, Elena
Gjevukaj and Diellza_Shabani. At the next table below that, we can see
Enkelena.


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Chris Lamb, Anisa Kuci, Kristi Progri, Elena Gjevukaj,
Diellza Shabani, Debconf19⦈


 


Elena_Gjevukaj told us about the relentless emotional blackmail from certain
people who pressured her to betray my family. See_the_video.


People need to ask Enkelena if she was subject to the same pressure from people
who wanted to hurt my family and I.


The Debian elections started recently. There is only one candidate.


Sruthi_Chandran, the wife of a male developer who hides conflicts of interest
submitted her nomination on Friday the 13th. From a technical perspective,
Enkelena is far more skilled as a developer and as a leader.


The voting period ends on 17 April, the 15th anniversary of Adrian_von_Bidder's
death,_which_had_been_discussed_like_a_copy-cat_suicide. He died on our wedding
day. If the culture on debian-private is really that bad, what impact will the
lost time and lost energy have on the career of a high-achiever like Enkelena?


Adrian's wife became_the_mayor_of_Basel, which seems to be a factor in the
extraordinary amount of money, over_$120,000, spent attacking my family and I.


The best way to encourage people to nominate for the election will be for the
existing leader, Andreas_Tille, to withdraw all the privacy attacks, settle the
lawsuits proactively and ensure the next leader can walk in and find the desk
is clean ready to work on productive things.


Don't hold your breath waiting for transparency about these attacks on my
family. There is still time to watch my video and contribute_to_the
crowdfunding_campaign. █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Behind the PR Smokescreen and Microsoft-
Sponsored Chaff, Microsoft Layoffs in "AI" Alleged This
Month⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

When the sales_are_poor and value_is_bunk:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇My husband was let go today from his role at Microsoft. It
was a complete surprise to him - he did not see it coming at all and even his
manager had no idea. I know layoffs are constantly happening in tech, but I
didn’t even see any news about upcoming major Microsoft layoffs in March.
Curious if others were impacted? We’re in shock, but the entire tech industry
is going through this right now, so we’re not the only ones going through it.⦈


3_days_ago, de facto bailouts from taxpayers:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇ Federal cyber experts called Microsoft’s cloud a “pile of
shit,” approved it anyway ⦈


Was Microsoft honest about the layoffs? No.


Microsoft does what IBM does. It does the layoffs piecewise, slow-cooking_the
staff and going below the WARN radar. Sometimes threads like the above make it
into some slopfarms, but like we've seen in Confluent_this_past_week, even
about 1,000 layoffs (not kept secret) aren't enough to merit any media
coverage/attention. The CEO goes on Bloomberg to boast/flaunt "no layoffs".


In the thread above, one Microsofter said: "There were rumors of big layoff, I
guess they are now going with smaller bunch. Anyway, as others said, ask him to
take a week of do nothing and then come back strong prepping for interview and
job search. It's a really bad market out there though, out of work for six+
months now."


"Same happened to my coworker," said another Microsofter. "Best performance,
yet terminated without severance. Every corporation is a piece of shit. This
world is run by careless billionaires. I left Microsoft for a healthcare tech
company with smaller pay but job security (for now). He can interview and
switch teams. Since he has Microsoft on his resume, he should be able to get
another job too. But try internally first" (same poor advice IBM gives).


"I also got laid off today from Microsoft," somebody said_days_ago. "I was not
surprised and am so curious where other cuts were."


It says this was in "hey hi" ("Mustafa’s").


"So, the rumors about the MS layoffs were indeed accurate."


Stenography about "Mustafa" from the CNBC media mole of Microsoft last week:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Microsoft shakes up Copilot AI leadership team, freeing up
Suleyman to build new models⦈


Fluff from Microsoft... about Microsoft.


In an age when ~1,000 simultaneous layoffs aren't enough to receive any media
coverage, what can we expect remaining publishers to tell us about Microsoft
layoffs in 2026? █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Bluewashing at Confluent: Some Workers to
Leave Within 3 Months (IBM Mass Layoffs)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 21, 2026


Is the "era of AI" an era when none of the media will mention over 800 layoffs?


Minutes ago:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇I’ve recently been impacted by the IBM acquisition of
Confluent. While I’ll be continuing in my role through to June, I’m now
starting to explore new opportunities for what comes next.⦈


The "smash_and_grab"_VPs hail the IBM acquisition of Confluent as smooth
sailing: (also minutes ago)


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Bloomberg News interview of Arvind Krishna after the
successful (SPEEDY) completion of the Confluent acquisition. He also updates on
AI, Quantum, the current environment and more⦈


Notice how nobody in the media mentioned the layoffs and, worse yet, Bloomberg
gave the CEO a platform to lie about it!


Why does the mainstream media still refuse to mention so many layoffs?


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇To my former colleagues and friends at Confluent affected by
the recent layoffs⦈


Over_800_laid_off. Another one saying so:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇It’s been a rough week for a lot of us at Confluent this
week due to layoffs resulting from the acquisition. Over 800 immensely talented
individuals are faced with the realities of today's job market.⦈


It has been days since IBM in effect laid off close to 1,000 workers at
Confluent.


Of course those Confluent layoffs were all over the news, right?


No.


The only thing that we saw mentioning it was a slopfarm:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Slop or fake: Confluent Layoffs Shock Employees: Promises,
Cuts, and Corporate Reality⦈


There's a lesson here about the state of the contemporary media, not just IBM
and bluewashing.


How many families need to be impacted by layoffs before "the media" deems it
newsworthy? 10,000? █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Coders Don't Just Reject 'Vibe Coding'
Because They're "Luddites", They Just Know the True Cost of
Slop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

The term_"Luddites" wasn't always an insult, but nowadays the term is a
derogatory term. "Luddites" is like "denialists"; it insinuates that particular
people reject science and technology, it's almost like "anti-vaxxers".


"Luddites" is a bad analogy for people who turn down slop. See "slopfondler
walks_into_a_bar" by Jamie Zawinski. He makes an excellent point - similar to
Cory_Doctorow's "had to make rule for my events: The first person to mention AI
owes everyone else a drink."


Slop comes in many forms and typically boils down to plagiarism masqueraded/
disguised as "fair use" by sheer brute force (waste of energy).


In the case of code, slop means mishmash of coding bits that may or may not
work (or behave) as expected. The producers (read: prompters) of such code
cannot verify and typically cannot understand the behaviour. They just cross
their fingers and hope for the best. That's a recipe for complete disaster and
technical debt (deferred cost). Doctorow correctly described mountains of code
as a liability, not an asset. Simpler bits of code can be a lot more valuable
than piles of slop. Those are easier and much cheaper to maintain, even if one
must hire skilled programmers to garden/modify them.


Earlier in IRC we proposed this OK-ish analogy for slop 'coding' ('vibe'
coding): plumbers don't hate you for trying to fix your own home, they don't
like you if you break your own home and then expect them to sort out the mess
for a fixed (low) fee. Likewise, coders don't want non-coders contaminating
their codebase, making things unstable and hard to debug. More so if they're
expected to do so cheaply. It can take vastly more time to fix a program one
isn't familiar with than fixing a program that one wrote by oneself. Based on
experience of programmers, LLMs generate sloppy code which is hard if not
impossible to maintain. It's also unpredictable. It can never be trusted.


"If AI [sic] coding were of any use," an associate points out, there would
already be a tsunami of *useful* new mobile apps out there, or even of just new
mobile apps. But there isn't, and the absence is very telling."


How much original, exclusive, investigative reporting ever comes out of slop?
Nothing. Because stochastic parrots are pure mediocrity. They lower standards.
Then lessen intelligence and set the bar low.


So if some programmer says slop sucks, don't rush to assume selfishness or
defence of one's occupation. Slop 'coding' is just another bubble. What will it
leave behind? Lots of lousy legacy code that metastasised in otherwise
(previously) robust programs with human-audited codebase. █

Nowadays many people openly speak about the failure of Debian (MinceR keeps
calling it "deadian") and the current election for leadership (DPL) contributes
to this. Similarly, the Manjaro_project_is_having_problems.


Trust relies on transparency and transparency relies on humility, i.e. people's
willingness to expose imperfections and admit mistakes.


The reason our_community_turns_20 is our radical transparency and commitment to
our values, even when it's inconvenient and/or very expensive.


News sites and distros come and go all the time. I used to be a Mandriva user.
Mandriva or OpenMandriva is still around and active (see their_news_section,
still updated this past year). The same is true for Mageia (active yesterday).
Gaël Duval is still_active (he spoke to me on occasions, he reached out); for
the uninitiated, he created Mandrake in July 1998, almost 3 decades ago. It
still lives on in the form of OpenMandriva and Mageia (two is better than one;
the_latest_release does not impose Wayland like IBM does).


Communities are better off than companies in the Free software space; when
money enters the equation there tends to be friction and infighting. In
Debian's case, there's a lot of nepotism and censorship (not limited to
censoring those who speak about the nepotism).


GNU/Linux gained a lot of momentum in the years of Microsoft antitrust because
no geek could trust Microsoft and geeks created cliques or guilds to build
alternatives. OpenMandriva is one of the few surviving guilds; it's younger
than Slackware and Debian, and unlike Debian it's not infiltrated by IBM and
Microsoft staff. That's why many can trust it. Before it was OpenMandriva or
even Mandriva the distro "Mandrake" was considered the leading desktop distro.
PCLinuxOS is also around (still), it used to be a leading distro (but was
eventually getting overtaken by Ubuntu because of the super-rich sponsor and
ShipIt "dumping tactics"). PCLinuxOS is still a vibrant and authentic
community, but after the fire and cancer (the founder) PCLinuxOS is not as
active as it once was. █

The previous_part_mentioned_mobbing_at_the_EPO. Days ago many_EPO_workers
protested, then went on strike (the following day), with many_more_strikes_to
come.


One insider told us (while still working at the Office, albeit under_something
like_PIP): "The mobbing I had in this year of probation was terrible. They
sucked all my energies, trying to disqualify me - and all if that because I
dare to say something against the 'system'."


Well, it is always important to exercise free speech say "something against the
'system'" - that's the very cornerstone of functional democracies with real
opposition parties (not two overlapping parties - both speaking for the same
rich people/interests).


At the EPO, the concept of democracy is lost and actively rejected. That's why
the strikes are necessary. Have solidarity with colleagues. Before it's too
late and strikes too become "impermissible". The EPO's "mafia" already tries to
intercept_communications (the ability for staff to organise) while forcing
staff to make_false_confessions (to fake approval for the status quo). █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ HSBC the Latest Failed Bank Using Slop as
Excuse for Its Financial Failure⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 21, 2026

This morning I saw a site stating "HSBC is planning on cutting as many as
20,000 jobs in the near future as the company allies with AI revolution."


Really???


So it's all because a so-called "AI revolution."


Right?


Not because high street banks are offloading the tasks to their customers?


Or closing_branches?


Of course those things have NOTHING to do with slop ('hey hi'), they're to do
with cheapening and worsening the service (even eliminating most ATMs, then
claiming there's "no demand" after the elimination). I wrote some lengthy
articles about it last year; some struck a nerve and inspired others to write
similar articles. Last week I wrote about how_banks_issue_cards_that_cost_less
than_a_dollar_to_produce (and look a lot worse than before; they're cheaply
made).


When it comes to HSBC, they're so bad that they lose money or lose track of
money. It's almost impossible to correct this.


To avoid any remarks that can be interpreted as pertaining to nationality/race
I'd sum up by saying: 1) HSBC is failing. 2) HSBC is losing money (both as a
business and also losing customers' money). 3) the mass layoffs at HSBC are due
to financial difficulties, "hey hi" is a misleading excuse.


HSBC is a really bad bank. It'll get worse after mass layoffs (judgement
errors, lack of expertise/manpower etc.) and HSBC cuts will only lead to a
cycle of further failures. █

3 days ago: EPO_Staff_Demonstration_Today


Last night we mentioned_material_presented_to_national_delegates who have the
power to reboot the EPO but were instead supporting Benoît_Battistelli and then
got bribed by António_Campinos to fix nothing.


Two day from now, on Monday (23 March), staff will log in to a General Assembly
and discuss the next steps. SUEPO Munich has said:


     SUEPO Munich Action Plan for 2026 – Next actions

     Dear SUEPO members,
     Dear Colleagues,

     The SUEPO demonstration of 18 March was attended according to the
     police by 700 in front of the Isar building and 500 on the live feed:
     1.200 in total. According to our estimates, the strike of 19 March
     was also very well followed.

     A big thank you for you support!

     Following the Administrative Council meeting of 18 and 19 March,
     SUEPO Munich invites to a General Assembly on Monday 23 March, at
     14.00 hrs to be held via MS Teams.

     Agenda:


         * Feedback from the Administrative Council


         * Next actions


         * AOB


     EPO staff works well and faithfully. Instead of being rewarded for
     their efforts, EPO staff see an erosion of their salaries, pensions
     and other benefits.

     It is time to put an end to this policy. Support the SUEPO Munich
     Action Plan 2026.



There's another strike very soon (March 30, a week after the above). █

To prevent unnecessary panic and speculation we often give a headsup before any
"at-risk" period due to maintenance work. 3 hours from now (21:00 GMT) there is
some upstream work, scheduled for weeks already and set to take place for up to
3 hours. We don't anticipate timeouts/downtime (we've already served over 4
million since midnight today), but never say never.


We'll carry on publishing at the usual_pace throughout. We're still on path
towards 10,000+ pages/year, even if saboteurs sponsored_by_rich_people try to
get in our way by tricking_the_system. Ministers are already_aware; they_won't
let_us_become_another_Uganda, nor_will_Ofcom_bigwigs. █

Disguised as "Takeovers" to Fake Value or Alleged
Potential⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

Astral signals its "exit"; it'll_collapse_with_the_slop_bubble; when Microsoft
OpenAI 'acquires' things it fools the gullible people who lend money to it (the
term "cash payment" does not literally mean that)


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Baidu’s CEO believes that we are in a bubble, and when it
bursts, only 1% of AI companies will survive.⦈


There is a term invented to describe acquisitions which are actually mere hires
(sometimes with some "stocks" exchanged as a "funny money" equity that costs
nothing to "mint" or "invent"). Just mix the word "acquire" and "hire", then
pretend that your company is "growing" or "investing" by merely taking onboard
staff, typically of startups that fail anyway (massive debt, no chance of
recovery) and "does an exit" (insolvency with nicer PR). That's_what
Microsoft's_GitHub_did_with_NPM. We're meant to think GitHub is championing
something by swallowing more debt, then hiding it away [1, 2].


Microsoft OpenAI seems to be doing the same_thing_this_month.


"I noticed the sites haven’t covered the OpenAI–Astral acquisition yet," one
reader said. "I’ve been using Astral’s tools (Ruff and UV) for about a year -
both excellent free software projects under the MIT license. UV, in particular,
is a great Python `venv` implementation for reproducible builds and I use it
near daily. I know you’re not a big fan of Rust or Python, but I use them daily
for free software development - far better than being tied to proprietary
ecosystems like MATLAB (as even RMS has pointed out). Especially in an academic
setting, when I just need to sketch something out quick in code and with
memory-safety, Python is my go-to."


Astral lacks a way to maintain itself, just like NPM. "Traffic" or "usage" is
not the same as business, as many slop companies/suppliers found out the other
way. They beg companies like NVIDIA (which benefit as long as the bubble does
not pop) for loans. Microsoft OpenAI is among those companies. They cannot get
people to pay (or enough people to still pay) for slop that's getting harder to
maintain and a lot more expensive not just due to electricity/oil prices but
also legal liabilities (many copyright and libel lawsuits, sometimes liability
for suicides or publicity rights being flagrantly violated).


"Yesterday (March 19)," continued the reader, "OpenAI announced they’re
acquiring Astral as part of their “Codex” initiative. Given OpenAI’s track
record, it feels like another step toward replacing human developers and
tightening their control over the ecosystem. I was surprised - I thought Astral
operated much more as a nonprofit."


Nope, "nonprofit" just means "cannot make profit". They lacked a business
model, but "nonprofit" sounds so much better.


Microsoft OpenAI agreed to hire their staff (for "funny money"; many slop
companies pay in 'slop tokens'; Pivot to AI recently blasted this troublesome
trend!) and in the process take over their servers, processes, and intangible
things like copyrights.


Now the fate of Astral is tied to Microsoft OpenAI's. When Microsoft OpenAI
collapses, which is inevitable and likely imminent, it's not clear what will
happen to Astral. Remember what happened to Skype last year. █

We'd hardly be the first to point out Wikipedia isn't what it seems or what it
publicly claims to be. In practice a lot of it is composed or 'polished' by PR
agencies and bad actors. Sometimes government actors. Wikipedia is biased in
favour of particular governments and people who pay Wikipedia a lot of money
(e.g. Bill_Epsteingate) attach invisible strings to the money; they have tacit
editorial control.


In 2009 I was invited to be a guest in FLOSS Weekly, where the real host (Leo)
was nice to me and Jono Bacon acted as an attack dog of Mono, Novell, and
Microsoft. He was also the lapdog of Mark Shuttleworth (MS), who lost_his
tongue_inside_Microsoft's_anus because he believed he'd find money in there
(just like Miguel_de_Icaza).


Nobody hears anything about (or from) Bacon anymore, but he got himself a
vanity page in Wikipedia and it's hilarious. It does not mention that he became
a_shill_of_GAFAM (he's being sold by the Linux_Foundation like an "elite
[corporate] prostitute") and he's married to Erica Brescia, who was Microsoft's
mole_inside_the_Linux_Foundation and is still there running things with the
people who buy their seats and reserve_seats. We used to call it "ZemlinPAC"
because it's nothing but a corporate lobby of billionaires and those who suck
up to them. █

Two years ago Richard_Stallman_opened_up_about_his_relationship_with_his
mother. Days ago Dr. Stallman (RMS) turned 73; he wished he had spent more time
communicating and doing a sort of reconciliation with his mother, who shared an
interest in literature (with her_son, "Richard").


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇It narrates Stallman's early years, depicting his unique
personality with amusing stories and anecdotes, including statements by his
mother, references to a girlfriend, Stallman as a child at school, his
adventures and work as a young hacker at the AI Lab, and more.⦈


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Stallman as a child at school⦈


As I made publicly known, my_mother_turned_70_shortly_after_the_birthday_of
RMS. We spoke in length, she read my article about her birthday, and she
commented on the cyber-attacks or harassment against her online.


What sort of sick creeps pick up on a journalist's mother because they dislike
his opinions? Of course we reported this to the police, which took this very
seriously (even more seriously than I had anticipated; they have zero tolerance
towards those_sorts_of_things).


Being a Free software activist ought not lead to "collateral damage" like
attacks on family members, including doxing. But the minds of sick men know no
boundaries.


In recent months I became aware that other journalists in the GNU/Linux space
had been subjected to similar attacks (on family members). How_do_we_end_this?

Last summer: How_to_Top_Up_a_"Limited_Liability"_With_Even_More_Limitations_
(Dodging_Accountability_in_the_UK)


Almost exactly 15 years ago I joined Sirius_Open_Source (February 2012). I
worked as a postdoc at the same time. Sirius Open Source was a "weekend gig"
for some extra cash and it was seen as ethical at the time (Sirius Open Source
actually did use "Open Source" back then).


About a year ago a_former_colleague_took_the_company_to_court (not because of
the_pension_fraud) and this year the company is barely surviving:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇SIRIUS CORPORATION LIMITED⦈


It has been "tit and tat" for months, like someone is rocking this vending
machine back and forth:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇ Compulsory strike-off action has been discontinued⦈


Eventually this company will officially collapse because about 90% of the
people it shows in "Meet The Team" aren't there and some left over 6 years ago!
Team members who were maybe temporary staff before the COVID-19 pandemic.


All the shells of what remains of the company are deep in debt.


Many companies fake their health and their size. Get used to it. Be sceptical.

Garrett opposes_real_security and has only imaginary credentials (such as a
vanity_page/advertisement_in_Wikipedia).


What his spouse wrote earlier this year:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇also fuck Matthew Garrett and his partners Louise and Ian
Conway for having me kidnapped, drugged, raped, and tortured⦈


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Louise Anderson-Conway, Google⦈


On several occasions, in 2023 and then again in recent months, the first
SLAPPer (not_the_one_who_strangled_women, the one_whose_spouse_keeps_calling_a
"rapist") said in public things to the effect of, his real aim is to take this
entire_site offline. Nowadays he's still openly boasting that several_times
already (at least thrice before July 2025, probably many times since then)
third_parties_funded_him_to_do_this. We can assume some of them are GAFAM (i.e.
billionaires'_interests, companies we routinely criticise) sidling with hyper-
sensitive_incels and cowards. Remember they're all_Americans! They_are_always
Americans who engage in "forum_shopping" (choosing infamously_claimant-friendly
courts in another continent with notorious_costs). Our_politicians_here_don't
like_this (it is steadily advancing this month [1, 2], it's a_bipartisan
interest). Our_barrister_reviled_this. Spending_a_million_dollars in 'lawyer
hours' and taking several barristers (B.H. and K.W.) to attack my wife and I
with 75+ KG of legal papers seems overzealous, but so is their intent in
general. Remember that the serial strangler sued his victim and his litigation
buddy_admitted_they_had_coordinated_the_litigation_against_me (which was also
an admission they had lied about it to several British judges while defaming_me
with_name-calling).


And yet, here we are years after it all began and they keep issuing threats to
us, even in public, despite us doing_everything_correctly. The late Ross
Anderson [1, 2, 3], a friend of Andy Farnell et al was_also_targeted_for
insisting_on_real_computer_security. Anderson was properly qualified, he was
British, and did not work for GAFAM.


Now back to Garrett (GAFAM).


This isn't about justice, it's about censorship. They try to cover up for
themselves, their friends, and their sponsors (who put money in the "pot" to
sue us, like Palantir's_Thiel_did_with_Hulk_Hogan). Despite being sent threats
from burner accounts (trying to spook us into deleting all criticism of Brett
Wilson LLP) we'll carry on reporting the facts, as we're legally permitted and
even encouraged because the only way to uphold the law is to expose companies
that break_the_law.


Today we revisit a_document_composed_2_years_ago. A part of it questions why,
after several_years_of_empty_threats and legally-invalid_threats from some
boutique hired_gun the first SLAPPer switched over to another hired gun and
fired some shots, this time not only at me but also at my wife (whilst
intentionally_using_the_wrong_name - an act we still deem both racist and
sexist - it's_a_machos'_firm that repels feminist authority [1, 2] and instead
uses women as props or "optics").


===============================================================================
§ Why It Has Taken Him So Long to Take Action⠀➾


One cannot help but wonder, why did the man wait over 8 months since the
articles (the Publications scrutinised) until a case was filed?


Why did it take that long?


It took him a year to take action (since or during which time the abuse from
him had intensified in IRC), he took another lawyer, probably because every
lawyer told him that this case would fail, he had "no case", so he just turned
down these honest analyses and looked for another lawyer who just gave another
answer - one that he wanted to hear. While this is partly too speculative ,
based on activity of his in social media (captured at the time), there was a
lot of shopping around spanning several months. Almost a year later he found a
notorious law firm that is, according to lawyers the Defendants spoke to (in
the wake and also during the course of this case), willing to take any case,
irrespective of the chance of winning, as long as one pays for it, resulting in
very notoriously low winning rates. No wonder they keep trying to settle,
instead. It keeps happening every month or so. They already gave up on
reputation, basically, in pursuit of people willing to pay for hopeless cases
about some IRC logs or whatnot, falsely portraying their victims of abuse as
the perpetrators of abuse. Inversions are not hard given mischievous PR tactics
and disingenuous people “playing the victim card”.


The reversal of narratives herein should be a great source of shame. There’s no
pride in attacking a woman who runs a site pro bono, and more so attacking her
for responding to an attack – a response that took her weeks to prepare and
from which she stood to gain nothing financially.


§ Why He is So Desperate to Settle (Attempted It Thrice Already)⠀➾


[2026 update: They've already attempted to settle at least 5 times! The aim of
such settlements would be censorship.]


In short, even he recognises that it's a dumb case. It can only cost everyone a
lot of time and money.


Mr. know-it-all is notorious for never admitting mistakes and pretending to
know everything - even to the point of faking or grossly exaggerating his
credentials. He is so stubborn and sure of himself that he'll never admit (even
to himself) that this was a deeply misguided decision, trying to gag the victim
of abuse rather than support her like a decent human being would.


This is ‘the master’ bluffer or the chronic faker who also pretended that he
had a home when all he had was a mortgage (i.e. loan) and he got caught in many
other lies in IRC, only to either vanish or to vilely attack the person
exposing the lie. The characteristic flaw or the aspect wherein one such as he
resorts to attacking whomever tells him that which he does not wish to hear
constitutes problems in a cooperative workplace – perhaps helping to explain
the never-ending job hopping by the Claimant. There seems to be a serious
problem of character and the Claimant himself admitted that colleagues did not
trust him.


Ironically for him, having started this case, he puts himself in focus; in a
sense, this is his character and his distasteful online conduct "on trial",
including how he treated colleagues (e.g. Ted Ts'o) – and this is hardly a
secret. His own actions made him unemployable or barely employable. It’s not
the fault of Techrights or Tux Machines; they’re hardly the only sites to
report his bad behaviour, which is easy for everyone to see regardless.


It beggars belief; who instructed him to initiate a case that would ultimately
put his poor character in focus? Does he want this in the public domain? Did he
envision this as a way to improve his score or is it just some impulsive way to
‘settle scores’?


So we deal with very weird man who has no sense of humour and wrongly assumes
that adding multiple obscenities (even the words that one should not put in
legal documents, e.g. words like "shit" or "fuck") to a sentence (it should be
noted he does this almost every week and makes excuses for such tasteless
language, not convincingly) will somehow, magically, make it funny.


He does that with great frequency. It’s not an accident or something he does
when he isn’t sober (he boasts about drinking alcohol, even in public).


It does not make anything funny. It just makes him look rude, unprofessional,
and grumpy. A lot of his public posts contain obscenities, yet he insists that
he has good reputation he wishes to guard. Any sane person can see that he’s
the culprit of his reputation issues; heck, in his site he “joked” that he
would write computer programs in exchange for sexual favours and he says openly
that he wants to stab colleagues. It did not take Techrights or Tux Machines to
ruin his so-called ‘reputation’ – a lot of this tasteless behaviour predates
the time when Techrights or Tux Machines even mentioning (or first mentioned)
his name. He’s not an important person, so he was very seldom named.


In short, what we have here is someone filing a lawsuit in a country far away
and then repeatedly trying to sneak out of it with some settlement, unlike the
respondents, who believe that the legal process exists not for manipulative
purposes and “games”. While the respondents adopted not the "bring it on!"
stance, they want the case to be properly dealt with because they know it's a
foolish lawsuit without any "smoking guns" or "star witness" or "October
surprises" (if there were, he'd not try to run away like that). There is a
lesson to be learned here. The lesson is not that courts can be and should be
used for extortionate purposes – that would be a misuse of public resources at
great collective expense.


It’s time for the Claimant to face the music. He started the case, but he wants
to leave the show. What does that look like to an outsider? Of course he can
just drop the case which he started. Although that would not undo the enormous
harm he has caused, but it would nonetheless be the sensible thing to do.


His poor character aside, there are also legal issues. The Claimant routinely
boasts that he didn't or does not get arrested in airports, perhaps because he
feels some guilt. Yet he keeps breaking into devices without their owners'
permission and trying to crash Techrights' programs in IRC, then boasting about
it. It ranges from immature behaviour, like hijacking other people's nicknames
to much worse stuff. This is included in the bundle of evidence. This isn't the
behaviour of a sane, healthy person. He talks about legalising most drugs (in
public! Just to be clear, talk about legalising drugs in the US is not itself
illegal. However, talk of using drugs is evidence of illegal activity), he
publicly states that sees professional help for his mental issues, and he also
says in public that he suffered burnout. Taking these problems out on other
people is not okay.


===============================================================================
Note: As usual, none of the above relates in any way to injunctions. Do not
believe anything said in Social Control Media. We've already fully complied
with everything and we still do. And "keep in mind there is neither treatment
nor cure for malignant narcissism," as an associate said. Personally unfit
persons like to project, calling the exposers what they themselves are. It's an
extension of DARVO, wherein the serial defamer paints himself as the victim
rather than the perpetrator (he has defamed me since 2012 and I'm told by high
profile people he did to same to them for a lot longer). $1,000,000 in legal
bills and abuse_of_process can shape outcomes, but they cannot change
documented history (meticulously documented online and available as witness
statements, albeit in the UK one has to be rich to bring witnesses to the High
Court). █

3 minutes ago Dr. Andy Farnell published this_article_about_slop:


     Don't throw away your copies of Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer
     Programming just yet.


Understandably, many_Computer_Scientists_do_not_want_programs_to_get
contaminated_by_slop; it would hurt everyone, as everything with a computer
(e.g. airplanes) would get worse. █

Half a year from now Techrights turns 20. At the beginning it had two editors,
Shane and I. Over time we added more and more (cautiously and conservatively)
and the people in the comments participated too (sometimes over E-mail). In
2008 we added IRC presence (before any social control media even mattered).
That augmented our ability to collaborate and hosting was done by our community
for many years. It became ever more crucial when DOoS attacks became a big
problem and shared hosting was no longer an option. It was about shared
missions, not money. It was about collaboration, not ownership. I just happen
to be the "public face" of the site.


Our goal of boycotting Novell did bear fruit (it only took a few years) and
then we explored a number of high-priority activism/journalism endeavours (if
opinionated journalism means "activism", then so be it!).


As our impact grew (many character assassination attempts against us fell flat
on their face; we lost count of how many dedicated anti-Techrights Web sites
were created and eventually perished) so did the pushback. In 2021 this
pushback was escalated_further. It was so baseless and pathetic that it merely
signalled the site's growing importance and it would embolden us to publish at
a higher volume/frequency.


Our Daily Links are collaborative work. We issue News Roundups at least twice
per day. Recently, as attacks on us intensified even further we got more people
in the community involved. The harder we're attacked, the more people
participate in the site. That's not so unusual a pattern. █

It's 2PM here and since midnight we've served 3,005,877 Web requests in
Techrights alone. The_need_for_curation_of_quality_news_or_non-slop_news_is_a

It's quite telling that many people from IBM, Confluent_in_particular_this_past
week, read this site. There's an obvious "media blackout" regarding the mass
layoffs; it seems like we're the only site writing about it. █

                # ⚓ not_stuck⠀⇛


                       today I feel stuck
                       but the woman from ten months ago
                       doesn't exist anymore
          o § Science⠀➾


                # ⚓ I_Was_Irradiated⠀⇛


                       Yesterday, I warmed a bowl of soup in the
                       microwave. For some reason, a memory of my mom
                       being suspect about our first microwave popped into
                       my brain. She didn't trust the science behind the
                       contraption; at least not at first.


                       From there, I thought about my dad and his
                       darkroom. He was a writer/photographer for
                       Nebraskaland magazine for decades. We had a
                       darkroom in our house. My dad even took a course
                       from his idol, Ansel Adams. Adams critiqued some of
                       his photographs. I digress. I remember my dad had
                       an anti-static brush he used for film negatives. It
                       had a strip of polonium just above the bristles
                       protected by a small metal screen. I remember using
                       that brush quite a bit. I had no idea it was
                       radioactive. By the way, Putin would later use
                       polonium to kill Alexander Litvinenko.


          o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾


                # ⚓ If_you_thought_now_was_an_interesting_time⠀⇛


                       If this is true, and this company didn't know how
                       its own system worked, presumedly before the LLM
                       crazy train, then things are going to get vastly
                       more interesting, and not in the good way [2] …


                # ⚓ Some_Historic_Ada_Docs,_and_Changed_Opinions⠀⇛


                       I'm reminded of Keynes' quote, "When my information
                       changes, I alter my conclusions".


                       Some time ago I was hopeful about component-based
                       development. However, bitter experience with
                       Microsoft's WinRT has forced me to reconsider this.
                       It's one of those things that's nice in theory, but
                       in practice an OO wrapper like WinRT must have a
                       defect density near 0 to be usable. Reality falls
                       far short.


                # ⚓ a_tidy_UTF-8_encoder⠀⇛


                       I've written a few UTF-8 encoders in my life, but I
                       don't recall really being pleased with any of them.
                       The algorithm itself is very simple, but actually
                       turning it into a "pretty" implementation can be a
                       bit of a challenge.


                       If you haven't implemented one you're happy with
                       yet, I recommend doing so. I'm only writing this
                       initial section to buy you some time before showing
                       you my code.


                # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾


                      # ⚓ The_Lurking_LLM_on_the_SmolNet⠀⇛


                             Not only is this LLM (Large Language Model)
                             on Usenet [1], it's apparently also looking
                             through gopher space at the very least. At
                             least, I hope it just said that.


                      # ⚓ The_Lurking_LLM_on_Usenet⠀⇛


                             I'm actually surprised at this. Not only is
                             Usenet nearly obsolete (“It's still around?
                             Really?”) but the group I'm reading is all
                             about ancient and largely obsolete computer
                             technology. Why, of all groups, would an LLM
                             (Large Language Model) target this group?


                      # ⚓ Show_me_your_websites!⠀⇛


                             Does anyone use the Pub for hosting their
                             websites? I think it's pretty simple for
                             static sites. I'm curious to see what
                             everyone else has going on..


                      # ⚓ My_CAPCOM_Instance⠀⇛


                             My web brain infects many of my thoughts.
                             Last night I couldn't understand why people
                             added Atom feeds to their Gemini sites.
                             What's the point, if we don't have apps like
                             NetNewsWire to read these feeds away from
                             Gemini. The thing is... there is no need to
                             read them away from the browser.


                             I can host CAPCOM on my capsule. I can visit
                             my own instance whenever I want to read
                             something, with the added benefit of
                             improving discovery for others.


                             I've written up a guide for myself to
                             remember how I did this. This is all inside
                             tilde.team after starting an SSH session.

                # ⚓ Elliot C Smith ☛ Build_SaaS_with_Strong_Opinions⠀⇛


                       So where does that leave SaaS founders? Well, in my
                       opinion your best bet is to throw out the old
                       'configure it all' mentality and do the hard work
                       of figuring out what works best then sell that as a
                       strongly opinionated piece of software.

                       "I'll only ever use an SSG for my blog!", I said,
                       unconvincingly. Sometimes I don't want to.
                       Sometimes Kev comes along and makes something like
                       Pure Blog and I think, "Well, that's better!"


                # ⚓ Jon Charter ☛ Adding_Live_Reload_to_a_Static_Site_Generator
                  Written_in_Go⠀⇛


                       So far, I’ve built features important to me, such
                       as code syntax highlighting that is pre-rendered on
                       the server, as opposed to relying on JavaScript2
                       post-processing. But a feature it has always lacked
                       is live reloading.


                       What is live reloading? It is a quality of life
                       feature that watches for file changes then
                       automatically rebuilds the output and refreshes the
                       browser.

            It!⠀⇛


                 Spring is in the air here in North Wales, so I decided to
                 take one of my_motorbikes to the office yesterday. On the
                 way home, not too far from where I live, I was sat at
                 traffic lights when all of a sudden three men on off-road
                 bikes surrounded me. One left, one right, one right up to
                 my back wheel. And they were really close, like, inches
                 from me kinda close.


          o § Science⠀➾


                # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Stone_Fragment_Is_Found_in_Wreck_of_Ship
                  That_Carried_Parthenon_Marbles⠀⇛


                       Experts said the fragment, recovered by divers from
                       the Greek culture ministry, matched the style and
                       dimensions of the Parthenon, but that it was too
                       soon to be certain of its provenance.


                # ⚓ CER ☛ Spring_2026_PCAS_Update:_Recruiting_a_new_Lecturer⠀⇛


                       My last update on the University of Michigan’s
                       Program in Computing for the Arts and Sciences
                       (PCAS) was in March 2024 (see post here). I did
                       give some updates when I wrote about our SIGCSE
                       2025 papers (see that post here).

                       Today I posted a video titled The_best_laptop
                       Fashion_Company_Apple_ever_made, and tl;dw1 it's
                       the 11" MacBook Air.


                # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Initial_thoughts_about_the_ThinkPad_E14:
                  wow!⠀⇛


                       Recently I bought and received a ThinkPad E14 Gen 7
                       to replace both my personal MacBook Air, and my
                       ThinkPad X230 writing machine. I’ll admit this was
                       more in response to what the Mac has become, and
                       ThinkPads were the closest hardware to MacBooks
                       I’ve ever enjoyed using. But truthfully, I had no
                       idea whether it was a good idea.


                # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ The_SPAOE_Softcard,_revisited⠀⇛


                       In 2023 I fulfilled a childhood dream of getting_an
                       Fashion_Company_Apple_//e_Platinum of my own. The
                       Fashion Company Apple II was well on its way out by
                       the time I started school in the mid-1990s, but
                       there were still enough kicking around that they
                       formed some of my earliest memories using
                       computers. I’ve since been trying to kit it out
                       into the best 8-bit Fashion Company Apple I can.

                       Before talking about notation I want to quickly
                       clarify again what effects are. In programming
                       languages we use types to provide information about
                       the inputs and outputs of functions. Effects allow
                       us to provide information about the function
                       itself, including things like “this function can
                       wait without blocking” or “this function can be
                       evaluated during compilation”.


                       Rust is a systems programming language and because
                       of that it values providing fine-grained, low-level
                       control about structures when needed 1. While an
                       async fn is a function that has “the async effect”,
                       that is different from a function which returns an
                       -> impl Future. Though they both desugar to the
                       same structures, async fn is higher-level and can
                       for example reason about borrows in ways that a
                       plain function returning a future cannot. I think
                       of this as analogous to how in Rust references and
                       pointers are also structurally similar but
                       semantically different.

                       After writing my previous handout article regarding
                       inequalities, I wanted to see if I could find ways
                       to represent inequalities in a geometrical way (you
                       know, classic circles, triangles, squares, cubes,
                       rectangular prisms and the like). So I’ve been
                       digging and improvising, and I’ve come up with some
                       animations to help people get a geometrical
                       intuition of things that are mostly studied in
                       algebra and analysis.


                       Some of the animations are standard and are taught
                       in the right kind of schools, but others have some
                       originality. For those, I actually developed the
                       ideas using pen, paper, and my own imagination. If
                       somebody else already did that, it’s fine; I am not
                       a fool to claim “real” originality when it comes to
                       basic mathematics. The roads were already very
                       circulated in the last 2000 years.

                       Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, published in 1818,
                       follows scientist Victor Frankenstein, who creates
                       a living creature from inanimate parts, only to
                       abandon it. It is fundamentally an exploration of
                       unchecked human greed, the desire for recognition
                       and control over nature. Reading Frankenstein, I
                       found myself genuinely enjoying a classic for the
                       first time. I noticed many parallels to the rise of
                       artificial intelligence and ChatGPT: the creature’s
                       development of language, knowledge, and emotions
                       mirrors how AI systems train on human data and
                       networks. The novel’s questions about
                       responsibility, risk, and creating a consciousness
                       from inanimate constituents echo the ethical and
                       legal dilemmas we are now facing with new
                       technologies. Victor Frankenstein’s claim that “the
                       world was to me a secret which I desired to divine”
                       has never been more relevant: it captures our
                       enduring fascination with the dangers of human
                       overreach, an archetype that continues to underlie

                       These attacks on public schools are attacks on

                       collaborate, to understand that rules apply to

                       Not metaphorically. Not "sort of" or "in a way."
                       Every color choice, every font weight, every pixel
                       of spacing, every word in every button label enters
                       your nervous system and produces a response before
                       your conscious mind has formed an opinion. The
                       subconscious absorbs the mood, the rhythm, the
                       logic of the interface. It draws conclusions. It
                       adjusts your emotional state. It prepares you to
                       behave in certain ways. All of this happens in the
                       fraction of a second before you decide what to
                       click.

                       on it. The Bauhaus understood it a century ago. But
                       the knowledge has remained largely confined to
                       design professionals, treated as craft wisdom
                       rather than what it actually is: a description of
                       how human cognition works in the presence of
                       designed systems.


                       The rest of the industry treats interface design as
                       decoration. As the thing you do after the "real"
                       engineering is finished. As a cost center rather
                       than a moral responsibility.

                             initial access through criminal marketplaces.

                       I’m indebted to Marty Manley for uncovering a
                       fascinating historical fact that sheds light on
                       what Iran is doing. During the Korean War, U.S. Air
                       Force Colonel John Boyd came up with a theory of
                       competitive decision-making that shaped American
                       military doctrine for a generation. He called it
                       the OODA loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act.


                       Boyd found that victory doesn’t go to the side with
                       more firepower. It goes to the side that cycles
                       through the OODA loop faster — observing what’s
                       changing, orienting to its meaning, deciding what
                       to do, and acting before its adversary does.

                       This is not a metaphor. It is not hyperbole. It is

                       operating without any regard to the restrictions on
                       government power enshrined in the Bill of Rights.

                       Autocratization affects every region, altering the
                       world in profound ways. It is a global trend
                       stretching back at least 25 years and accelerating
                       over the last decade. No country, including long-
                       standing Western democracies, is immune to the
                       erosion of democratic norms. These are times of
                       systemic global shifts, in which the world’s
                       remaining democracies face severe challenges.


                       The United States of America (USA) stands out as a
                       conspicuous example. It is an exceptional new
                       autocratizer due to both far-reaching changes in
                       2025 and their implications for the rest of the
                       world. The extensive damage already done to
                       American democracy under the second Trump
                       presidency – in just one year – stands out on the
                       world map (Figure 10). Typically, autocratizing
                       countries of the “third wave” have taken about a
                       decade to make such a deep dive, and the speed of
                       decline is comparable to some coups d´états.²

                             This market reaction may be partly the result

                             the war in Iran is probably the bigger issue.
                             As we saw in 2022, exogenic inflation (higher
                             prices imposed by forces beyond our control,
                             in the wider world) can have appalling

                             British politics. In a single year the
                             government spent £51.1 billion on energy
                             support policies, but inflation still reached
                             double digits, 345,000 business still became
                             insolvent – the highest figure on record –
                             and the government’s fiscal plans almost
                             caused pension funds to collapse. In the
                             global economy today, there are signs that
                             the coming wave of inflation could be
                             similar, if not worse.

                             A fundamental problem for decentralized
                             systems like permissionless blockchains is
                             that their security depends upon the cost of
                             an attack being greater than the potential
                             reward from it. Various techniques are used
                             to impose these costs, generally either
                             Proof-of-Work (PoW) or Proof-of-Stake (PoS).
                             These costs have implications for the
                             economics (or tokenomics) of such systems,
                             for example that their security is linear in
                             cost, whereas centralized systems can use
                             techniques such as encryption to achieve
                             security exponential in cost.

                       Several global companies like Google, Microsoft and
                       Amazon have already fired a huge chunk of their
                       employees, and this tradition is continuing in the
                       future as well. The new addition to the list is one
                       of the leading banking companies in the world,
                       HSBC.

                       The initial reports of the blogger’s

                       about punitive psychiatry, particularly given that
                       the Skvortsov-Stepanov hospital was used to commit

                       later noted that members of Remeslo’s family work
                       in psychotherapy and psychiatry. Some commentators,
                       including pro-war bloggers, concluded that Remeslo
                       may have checked himself in to avoid criminal
                       prosecution following his posts critical of Putin.

                       To be clear, blaming the media for the lack of any
                       coherent strategy to pursue the war and to plan for
                       the aftermath is akin to shooting the messenger.
                       It’s also quintessential authoritarian-playbook
                       behavior. If you can’t stop the bad news, at least
                       you can attempt to stop the dissemination of that
                       bad news. And if you can’t stop the dissemination
                       of bad news, well, you can always accuse the
                       messengers of treason.


                       “Under the First Amendment, the press decides how
                       it wants to report the war. The government cannot
                       control what the press says,” explained Erwin
                       Chemerinsky, the dean of the UC Berkeley School of
                       Law. Yet that is precisely what the Trump people
                       are attempting to do.

                       The Pentagon’s stated reason for banning press

                       because of space restrictions. But the real reason,
                       the Washington Post (3/11/26) reported, was they
                       took “unflattering” photos of Hegseth.

                             nature it didn’t see much adoption outside of
                             commercial settings. This has now changed
                             with its author, [Eric Lengyel], releasing it
                             to the public domain without any limitations.


                             Originally [Eric] had received a software
                             patent in 2019 for the algorithm that would

                             hold on to it any longer and retain such
